I read We See Everything in my usual places, the buses and tunnels of London. It was compelling and terrifying, bringing the horror of bombardment to the streets I was travelling through (and under). This is a wonderful book – it humanises a battle that so many of us ignore and shook me into fearing about where it is all heading.
